1:25=Pick up best friend and head to Lynchburg to see our other best friends (A Brilliant Ending) play their last show.

2:15=Arrive at the show.  It's outside and super ultra mega hot! We meet and greet with everyone. It's kinda melancholy for the nine of us because we know this is it...the end of a great band.

3-ish=Jordan doesn't feel well at all.  He's been drinking Dr. Pepper all day and is dehydrated.  All me and Caitlin have for him is green tea.  We find a drink machine and the closest thing to water they have is Powerade, so we get it.  He feels a little better but still doesn't think his vocals are gonna be his greatest.  They set up and play.  I take pictures and while doing so Caitlin tells me she doesn't feel good.  We wait for ABE to finish their set (in which I got a song dedication for wearing their merch to the show :P)

4-ish=? We jet straight out after the show to the convienence store down the street.  We buy water for the guys and head back.  They're still loading Tyler's SUV.  We get everything loaded and all our stuff and stand out for a bit and talk.  The guys invite us for lunch and we follow them back to Bedford.

5:30-6-ish=We eat at McDonalds.  Evan and Jordan are MIA for a while because Evan got sick.  Evan finally held down some food and Tyler's foot was beginning to swell because Evan dropped some equipment on his foot.  After we ate we all walk over to Goodwill where Nathan and Maggie have already gone.

6:00=We fool around at Goodwill for a good half hour.  We all try and find things for Jordan so he can be The Joker for Halloween.  Evan found a chair and we left him for five minutes and he was out.  We woke him up and walked back to our cars after Caroline bought some fingerless gloves.

6:30=We congregate back at our cars and since the guys have no idea where Anna's is, to get to the house show they're playing, they have to follow me.  Poor Evan had to sit in the back of Tyler's SUV with all their stuff.  I had a full back seat he could have slept in. :[

7:00-10:30=We get to Anna's where Andrew's band was finishing up.  Next was Griff's band and they played THE longest set! We all sat on the trailer hitch and messed around with cameras and shit while the other bands played.  Sometime around 8:30 the other half of Head Over Kills shows up and they start setting up next.  They took over half an hour to set up and then they played.  They finished up around 10 when the sound ordinance came into play.  So A Brilliant Ending had to "play quietly".  Well they don't know how to do that so in the middle of a breakdown the power gets cut.  A couple people were saying that the cops had come but that never happened.  The power came back on and they played about 3 more songs.  We packed up all their stuff then I had to take Caitlin home so we bid adeiu.

All in all it was a great day.  We had the best fun I've had with them in a long time...I can't believe they're breaking up...stupid college.  Tyler is off to James Madison University so they could technically find a fill-in bassist for when he's not here but supposedly they aren't happy with Jordan anymore but I don't see why.  He's the sweetest, funniest kid ever.  And he's great with vocals.  I guess we'll see what happens but I hope it doesn't turn out the way it's been rumored to. :/

That is all.

Hope you all are doing well.
